I TIE THE KNOT- SoCal

Kreig was like part of the family. Funny and serious when needed to be. We could not have asked for more from him. Our friends and family still talk about how good he was up there with us and thought we knew him for years the way he spoke about us. We met Kreig for 2 hours a month prior to the date. Thank you soo much for making our day perfect Kreig...

This was a great day for us and he was just great in all he did.What a great service it was amzing

Kreig was wonderful to work with. He made us feel very comfortable and genuinely cared about getting to know us. We loved that he wanted to meet with us more than once. When we saw him at the wedding it felt like we really knew him. He did an amazing job and was very professional. We highly recommend Kreig. He even made an appearance in our photo booth and signed our guest book! Years from now when we go back to look at our wedding video I'm glad to know our officiant is someone we really cared about. Thank you Kreig for making a difference on our special day!

Blessings,

Pastor Kreig did a fantastic job. At our initial meeting he made us feel extremely comfortable & we immediately knew he was the one. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple & help guide us in the direction we wanted to go.

On the day of rehearsal (which he went out of his way to attend only minutes after arriving back in town!) & our wedding, he was prompt, relaxed & brought everyone together. We really could not have asked for a better officiant & highly recommend him to anyone!

Thanks Pastor Kreig!

Love,

It was great working with Kreig. He spent the time learning about us and incorporated personal stories into the ceremony. He was very professional and we automatically felt comfortable in his presence. We were very pleased with his work!

Kreig is a very friendly person who is both professional and personable. We were glad to have someone who we knew we could count on to make our wedding day one to remember! He was awesome!

My wife and I highly recommend Pastor Krieg! We have received numerous compliments from our friends and family regarding Krieg's officiating. His use of humor, honesty and heartfelt words made our ceremony outstanding. We feel as though we have known him for years. Kreig is highly professional and went out of his way to ensure that our wedding went smoothly. He returned emails and phone calls promptly and put us at ease as he answered all of our questions. Kreig gave us valuable guidance while allowing us to customize our ceremony. We strongly urge any couples looking for a marriage officiant to consider Pastor Kreig if they would like a memorable ceremony that everyone will enjoy.

Kreig did a fantastic job! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect.
My new Hubby and I had a few things that were very important to us in selecting an officiant - helpful, personal, fun, not religious, timely on the day of and with responsiveness prior to the wedding and just a general feeling of "hitting it off" with the man that was going to marry us. Well, it took one meeting with Kreig and we looked no further. We immediately knew that he was the perfect Reverend for us!
He met us at a coffee shop on several occasions so that he could get to know us. Because he did this, our ceremony was very personalized with a special message he wrote and inserted into the ceremony. Although he is a Reverend, he respected our wished to keep religion out of the ceremony and he found a way to make it spiritual in a way that fit us.
His knowledge about all aspects of ceremonies and the many different rituals involved was very helpful. He laid out a ceremony plan for us months in advance so we really had a chance to get to know what to expect.
He was very responsive prior to the wedding day and early on the day of the actual wedding.
The most imortant thing was the "hitting it off" feeling we were looking for. Many different people who attended the wedding asked us how we knew Kreig. They couldn't believe it when we told them we found him online :) He entertained everyone!
My new hubby and I are a bit silly and sarcastic so we really enjoyed getting to laugh and it eased our nerves. We both screwed up the same line and Kreig was right there to slip us back into place.

Thanks Kreig, you really made our day extra special.

Kreig was great. He did a wonderful job at making our ceremony very personal and beautiful. Everything was better then we ever imagined. We are still getting complements on how beautiful the ceremony was. I would definitely recommend him to every bride to be looking for a great officiant. He also helped us a lot with the rehearsal and the flow of the wedding since we had no idea what we were doing :)

Pastor Kreig did an incredible job with our ceremony. 25 minutes felt like only 5 minutes because we were so absorbed with listening to Kreig's advice and kind words. He spoke beautifully, made our guests laugh, and managed to perfectly execute the exact ceremony we had envisioned. Kreig was so easy to talk to during our meetings, and he even inspired our honeymoon destination, Bali! Thank you so much Pastor Kreig!

Kreig gave us a wonderful ceremony and was able to keep it light with some cute stories but also serious (which is what my mom wanted). We got a lot of compliments on the ceremony from our guests that they enjoyed his words. Thanks!

Pastor Kreig was a great officiant at our wedding. We met him twice before our ceremony over coffee and loved how laid back he was. He takes the time to get to know you as individuals and as a couple.
His message at our ceremony was very much personalized and to the point. On top of making sure that the ceremony was on time he added humor to the service, which everyone enjoyed.
Thank you Pastor Kreig!

Kreig Gammelgard was everything we had hoped for to officiate our wedding. He was extremely warm in his delivery, deep and meaningful and funny when it was appropriate. It was the perfect balance that represented our relationship. We feel very blessed to have had Kreig marry us and completely made our wedding day extra special!

I could not be more happy that we chose Kreig Gammelgard to be the officiant for our wedding in Escondido. It was truly a wonderful experience. Kreig made the ceremony warm, personal, funny, sweet - it was so memorable and my husband and I agree that the ceremony itself could not have gone better. We loved every moment of it.

Kreig was very flexible and didn't bat an eye when we crossed off most of the typical ceremony components. He somehow made the whole thing so simple and fun. We also found his professionalism to be extremely helpful. When your family forgets where to sit and you end up missing a chair for grandma - you definitely want a professional up there directing traffic. He was wonderful. We've received MANY compliments about what a great officiant we had. Thank you, Kreig!

My husband and I are very happy with the beautiful ceremony Pastor Kreig officiated. He is a warm and friendly person who obviously has a great deal of professional experience. Our day ran smoothly, and the ceremony was perfect. Many thanks to you, Kreig!

I Tie The Knot/ Kreig was the perfect fit for our wedding...He was attentive to our personalities and our vision for what we wanted our day to be..He met with us to discuss and make sure every detail was perfect..He was professional and relaxed at the same time which put the two of us at ease..I could not have pictured our day any more perfect than it was

Pastor Kreig did an amazing job performing our ceremony. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how great the message was.
I knew from my first meeting with Pastor Kreig that he was the perfect fit for us. He didn't rush through our meeting. He gave us his complete attention. He was extremely thorough in getting to know us. He asked all the right questions and made us feel completely at ease.
He is also very quick to respond to emails and phone calls.
When you meet him, you will see what I mean. I feel extremely blessed that we found him! He also has a wonderful speaking voice.

I highly recommend Pastor Kreig!

My fiance and I searched high and low for an officiant to marry us. We were very picky with who we wanted to marry us, because we felt that was one of the most important vendors of our wedding. We needed to be very selective in finding the perfect person, and make sure they had everything we were looking for. Kreig Gammelgard was exactly what were were looking for. He was personable with us. He took the time to get to know us. He met with us several times, in order for him to get to know us, and make sure our vows were exactly what was right for us. And best of all, with getting to know us as a couple on a more persona level, he surprised us with the most beautiful message during our wedding ceremony. We were very satisfied with his work, and I am sure all of you will be too!

My husband and I are not that religious but still wanted a spiritual feel to our ceremony. Kreig listened to our story and incorporated it beautifully into our ceremony. He was very professional and accommodating to our hectic wedding planning needs and schedule.

I absolutely loved Pastor Kreig. He did an amazing job at our wedding. He took the time to meet with us and find out why we fell in love. Our ceremony was perfect and our friends and family all commented on how our lovely our ceremony was. I wouldn't change a thing!!

Kreig was very helpful to us. He was willing to work with us on our schedule as we were planning our wedding from a different state. It was nice to work with someone who was willing to answer our questions, however little they were. Other officiants that we spoke with seemed as though they just wanted our money and didn't care about us and our personalities and making the ceremony what we wanted. We would recommend Kreig to any one searching for a great officiant.

Kreig did a fantastic job at our wedding. He was funny and spoke very well and set a great tone to the start of our wedding. His personality makes him someone that the crowd can immediately connect with. Absolutely recommend him for your wedding.

Very responsive and helpful. Did a great job of getting to know us before the wedding, so that out of town guests even assumed that he was our local pastor and not someone just for the wedding.

Kreig is an awesome officiant!!! He is very professional, responsive and flexible. Our ceremony that was just what we wanted/asked with no suprises! He creates a comfortable atmosphere and even adds a little humor to it. All our guest loved the ceremony and had nothing but great things to say about him!!! We recommend Kreig to everyone!

I can't say enough good stuff about Kreig! He took the time to get to know us and that was truly reflected in our ceremony. It was the most beautiful ceremony ever! All of our friends and family raved about him; we picked the best- and I did a lot of research (and met others that weren't as good) to find him. We couldn't be happier! He was early, professional, and he came to the rehearsal! (Which many officiants refuse to do!) He allowed us to write our own vows and include a few Catholic prayers and traditions. He made the entire wedding party aware of what they were doing and when and made sure everyone knew their roles. Overall, he made it all about us. Don't choose any other random guy to do your ceremony; use Kreig, he's the best!!!

Thank You for everything.

Kreig Was incredible. Very personable, easy to get to know, great sense of humor. Provided great resources and directions, suggestions etc. I had several people comment on how much they enjoyed the minister. His message was impactful and memorable and since the wedding "quotable"

Pastor Kreig did a great job for us. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking to get married. In addition to providing us with scripture and vow options for the service, he also recommended the perfect beach location for our small, intimate wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of using his service.

Pastor Kreig was such a pleasure; completely professional while at the same time being very warm and welcoming. He is a great listener; learns your story and then creates the most fitting way to piece together the perfect ceremony for the couple. He asks what YOU want and adjusts according to that, does not force his opinion on the style of the ceremony. I felt totally comfortable sitting down and sharing my background with him and was interested in listening to his so that we may understand each other. I felt as though I was talking to an old friend (and I think thats exactly what you want when you are having someone conduct such a monumental day as a wedding should be). He was a blessing and an honor to have as our Pastor and wedding officiant. I would absolutely and highly recommend him for yours!

Best,

Kevin and Leah O'Connell

Kreig did a fantastic job with our wedding!! He was punctual to all of our meetings, extremely flexible with our requests, and had great suggestions for the ceremony. He found the perfect balance between seriousness and levity during the ceremony, and we received many compliments from our guests. Kreig helped us create a lovely day that we will cherish forever.

Pastor Kreig did an amazing job at our ceremony. He was very eager to be involved in what we had planned for the day. He took time to meet with us and get to know us so he could officiate in a capacity that suited my husband and me. Pastor Kreig added a wonderful touch to our ceremony and I am so happy that we were able to work together!! Thank you!!!

Kreig Gammelgard officiated our wedding in San Diego, CA and he was beyond fantastic! He created a personal, intimate, funny, romatic and heartfelt ceremony that embodied my husband and I through every word. Even though we had only met a handful of time, it was like Kreig had known us for years and that came through in his service. He was worth every penny and I would reccommend him to any couple who is looking for a personal and unique wedding service.

Thank you Krieg for making our day not only memorable for us, but for all of our guests as well!

Kreig, was truly one of the best people we met and worked with during our wedding planning/wedding day process. Kreig is a wonderful pastor who will make your marriage ceremony incredibly special. He has a caring, genuine personality that makes him an ideal officiant for anyone looking to have a very memorable and meaningful wedding ceremony. My wife and I were very pleased with how personal Kreig made our ceremony and each of our wedding guest were impressed with his candor, sense of humor, and professionalism. We got to spend multiple times getting together with Kreig, prior to the ceremony, and developed a wonderful friendship with him!
I highly recommend Kreig and I tie the knot. ~ Kevin Murrey, married 9-20-09

Kreig was a great pastor for our wedding! He was funny and so easy to work with. He was totally open to our ideas and incorporating what was important to us into the ceremony, but also had really great ideas and suggestions of his own. We met a few times before the wedding and talked about all kinds of things. I was pleasantly surprised when he talked about a lot of those things throughout our ceremony. Some of them we hadn't even remembered telling him about. He really paid attention to what we said was important in our lives. He also offered us very meaningful advice for our life together as a married couple. We will definitely recommend him to our friends!

Pastor Kreig was amazing!!! He made our special day even more special with his kind and funny words. I would recommend him to anyone. He was extremely efficient and always on time, you can always count on him and his services.

He did a wonderful job getting to know us and personalizing our ceremony. He made our event very special.

Kreig did an amazing job at our wedding! We had several guests ask us if he was our pastor growing up because he knew so much about us, but in actuality we found him online and met with him only a couple times before the wedding. He does an amazing job at getting to know you as a couple and individually. He added his own personal touches throughout the ceremony, which brought about tears and laughter at all the perfect times. All of the readings and prayers that were read at our ceremony were personalized by him to better suit us as a couple. Kreig has a very pleasant and calming demeanor about him that made us instantly comfortable with him. Our ceremony was even more memorable because of the thoughtfulness that he put into it. Thanks Kreig!

Eric & Sarah

Pastor Kreig was worth every moment at our wedding. He is a awesome minister and has a great presonality. He was a last minute choice, but so glad that it worked out the way it did! It was meant to be. We will be using him again to maybe reniew our vows later in the future as we plan to settle in California after my husband retires from the Marine Corps in 10years.

Krieg was absolutely fabulous. He met with my husband and I a couple times before the wedding. The ceremony was individual and was more than we could ever have dreamed. It was done the way we wanted with some traditional parts plus had individuality that fit with both of us and made people laugh in agreement! Guests at our wedding commented then and even months after what a wonderful and personal ceremony it was.

I would DEFINITELY recommend Krieg for your ceremony.

All of our guests can not stop talking about Kreig, our Officiant. The ceremony was beautiful and very special. Kreig personalized every detail. He made references to so many special things about us. It was the most intimate and beautiful time in our lives. He gave great advice on marriage and sharing our lives together.
Kreig was such a special part of our day and we recommend him highly!

I was amazed at how great Craig Gammelgard was in officitating our wedding. He was able to capture both the sincerity of both my husband and I as well as embrace that we do have a very humorous side to us. He was able to roll with all the punches and present us to our family and friends with such grace as a newly married couple. He is not only very professional, but he has great sense of humor and very special talent in incorporating religion into the ceremony without making it overwhelming, which was very important to us. We wanted a sincere ceremony with religion sprinkled within the cereomony. We received overwhelming compliments from the guests who attended the wedding, saying how perfect the ceremony was and what a great officiant and where did I find him. I proudly said online! It was a strange way to find a person to unite us in marriage online, but once we met him we knew he was the perfect fit.

Kreig was wonderful. He met with us twice and used the information he learned to make our ceremony a very personal one. He has a great voice on the microphone and worked in a reading that we wanted read, too. I was totally impressed! He came to the rehearsal--a big plus!!

My husband and I agree one of the best decisions we made invloving our wedding day was choosing Creig Gammelgard officiate our ceremony. Everytime I speak to one of the guests from our wedding, they never fail to mention how great Creig was! He really personalized our ceremony, I really cannot say enough about him. I recommend Creig to anyone who wants a meaningful, beautiful ceremony. THANK YOU CREIG!!!

I can not begin to put into words how impressed my family, friends and I were with the ceremony that Kreig designed for our wedding. Mike and I were getting married in San Diego, CA while planning it from Miami, FL. I was daunted by the thought of flying out for a week and finding a minister that we not only liked, but who would be able to meet us once and deliver a heart-felt ceremony that truly represented us as a couple and expressed the enormity and seriousness of the day while keeping it warm and friendly. Kreig did just that and he was the best "vendor" of the entire day for us. I have to place quotes around vendor because he really didn't feel like a vendor to us. He stroked a cord that created the impression he'd known us all our lives and that was delivered during the ceremony and I'm still impressed with it. I should also note that he went out of his way to incorporate aspects into the ceremony that were special to Mike and I like a unity ceremony featuring the story of Cana where we turned water into wine by using dye. He elaborated on the idea and wrote this gorgeous piece comparing the evolution of a marriage to the growth of a fine bottle of wine. If you knew Mike and I you'd know this was very fitting for us.

Kreig was able to tie Cam and my personalities into the message and at the same time use great advise and inspiring words for our marriage. He is very accomodating and made our ceremony special. I would definitely recommend.

provided valuable tips and advice with a sense of humor
